I get normal drafts and signings from Eastern Europe when I start a game in 1980 with the draft on and turn the iron curtain rule off in 1989 as you did, so I think you'll likely see the signings working if you continue. But you may want to make a backup copy of your game (using "save as") and quickly run it in unemployed/do-not-disturb mode to the next season to see if that happens.
